There is no wasted knowledge, C is a primitive language, but could teach you things that many other languages cannot.

Consider proper memory management, et al. There are other languages that implement similar features that C does, but ANSI C is a macro-assembler in the truest sense of the word.

Pick up a copy of "The C Programming Language, by Kernighan and Ritchie" and do the exercises.

Good luck.
